Accounts that work with Google Fi

Most Google Accounts can be used with Google Fi, including:

  • Google Accounts with "@gmail.com" email addresses.
  • Some work or school accounts that use your own domain name (see below). 
  • Other Google Accounts, like "@yahoo.com" or "@hotmail.com" email addresses.

Google Accounts for work or school

If you have a work or school Google Account, also known as G Suite,  your administrator has to turn on Google Fi service and Google Payments first. Otherwise, sign up with a new Google Account to use Google Fi.
